Homes that are built in floodplain regions are often required to maintain flood insurance to comply with local floodplain management ordinances.  These homes are found within almost every community throughout the United States, and as Realtors work to sell these homes, they often have to explain to sellers the extra responsibilities that come with a floodplain home.  The course aims to educate the Realtor on floods, national flood programs, and other options to better answer client questions.  Assessing flood risks found on a flood insurance rate map will also be discussed.
